Mobile for Madi

I made a Sun Bonnet Sue quilt for Madi's crib and could not find a mobile with the same color tone as the quilt. When I came upon this idea for a fabric yo yo mobile I decided to give it a try. And was pleased to find out how easy it was! I bought a mobile at a resale boutique and used it for the frame of the mobile. I didn't want to take the time to glue fabric around a cross-stitch hoop. One more craft project crossed off my list!

Pin Cushion

I made this pin cushion and it turned out really nice. It's actually larger than I thought it would be. The measurements were off so I had to be creative in the end to make things fit but overall it looks good.

Monogramming Madness!

So Jim decided to get me a Memory Craft 9700 Sewing/Embroidery machine which has become my new obsession. Now that Ada and Madi both nap from 1-3pm, I have now officially named that my "Sewing Time." If you know me and how much I thrive on organization and scheduling you aren't surprised at all by me labeling a time frame of my own day...and if you really know me you know that I have typed out a schedule for the day for both girls. Which I may include in a post soon!

"Ada Potada" and "Madi Moo Moo"

My healthy ballerina is still very healthy! Ada already loves to play dress up and I love taking pictures of her when she gets dressed up. This is not the usualy attire which consists of my costume jewelry and Jim's steel toed work boots!

I really like this picture of "Madi Moo Moo". It makes me realize that she is growing up and is not a little tiny helpless newborn anymore...bittersweet! Many people say she looks like me and Ada but most people say she looks like Jim. I think she is her daddy made over.

Easter 2010

I love this Easter picture because the rolls on their arms are so similar. Life with two girlies is so much fun. Lots of hard work but I couldn't ask for better children. I am so blessed with the best husband in the world and wonderful children!

Welcome Madi!

Yay for epidurals that work!!! My labor, delivery, and recovery with Madi was much less of a challenge than with Ada. Dr. Darbonne is the best OBGYN ever. We are so thankful for our little ones. I cherish the tiny fingerprints streaked across the windows because one day, which will seem so soon, they will longer be there.

Winter 2009

This was our Winter family photo shoot. Jim says ' Isn't one picture a year good enough!" So I always look forward to getting our family pictures taken because it only happens once a year. This year I was 7 1/2 months pregnant. Keri Hebert did an awesome job!

"Catch Up"

This is an apology post for waiting 7 months to post another story. So here is my attempt to play "catch up" on our life!

Halloween Fun!

Pretty in Polka Dots!

I love this little dress from Cindy. I think I am obsessed with polka dots!
